A few thoughts to consider on the way to the polls.

I Like Ike - He was so prophetic in ways that only now can be readily understood.

This election, more then ever -

"The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter."
Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Wow!

Great listing. Thanks

People who lay out sums of money in order to secure office get into the habit of looking, not unreasonably, for some return. Even the poor but reasonable man will want to profit, so it could hardly be expected that the not-so-honest, who has already put his hand in his pocket, should not want his profit too. - Aristotle, Politics, Bk. II, c.334-23 b.c.

Nothing has changed in 2000 years.

I think that the undecideds could go one way or the other. – George Bush, 1988.

No wonder he got fired, and I voted for him.

Good post, I'll have to read the rest of this book when I'm awake.

"We have the finest politicians money can buy. - Unknown."

That's my favorite.

Term limits would make most of these comments, moot.

I hate to be picky...but is there anyway you can provide a bibliography....meaning, do you keep trap of yoru source as you collect all of the quotes? I know how much time it takes for you to make them..maybe you could compile everyone on a website so we can bookmark them??

Thanks again!

[Freedom2specul8]

Hi Cyn! How are ya?

[Freedom2specul8]

:)
"do you keep trap "

Should have read

"do you keep traCK".. :)

[cyncooper]

Doing good--looking forward to the election, yet apprehensive of any dem shenanigans--you know what I mean!

I can't wait to vote, though. Hope you are well.

"maybe you could compile everyone on a website so we can bookmark them??"

I collect quotes from all sources. I try to source the quote to the original citation when I can, and include it with the quote. I may put them all on a website someday, but I am still researching and might try to get a compilation published in the future as well (which means keeping all but excerpts off the web for the time being). In the meantime, I have bookmarked all the quote threads I have thrown up on Free Republic.

Some fine, funny, and far-seeing material here, from some of the titans of liberty.
